Leaders of the Quad countries — Japan, the United States, Australia and India — have begun making arrangements for a summit to be held in conjunction with a U.N. General Assembly meeting in New York in late September.

India will host the next Quad leaders’ meeting later this year, according to a joint statement released by the Quad countries’ foreign ministers following a meeting in Tokyo on Monday.
